From Booklist
From the depths of Mexico’s Copper Canyon to the heights of theLeadville Trail 100 ultramarathon in Colorado, from thecenturies-old running techniques of Mexico’s Tarahumara tribe to aresearch lab at the University of Utah, author McDougallcelebrates, in this engaging and picaresque account, humankind’sinnate love of running. There are rogues aplenty here, such thedeadly narco-traffickers who roam Copper Canyon, but there are manymore who inspire, such as the Tarahumara runners, who show the restof the world the false limitations we place on human endurance.McDougall has served as an Associated Press war correspondent, is acontributing editor to Men’s Health, and runs at his home in ruralPennsylvania, and he brings all of these experiences to bear inthis slyly important, highly readable account.

内容简介

An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

精彩书评

"A journalist's adventures in a secluded Mexican community of the best endurance athletes in the world. On an unrelated assignment, Men's Health contributing editor McDougall (Girl Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi, Her Svengali, and the Secret Teenage Sex Cult that Stunned the World, 2004) uncovered the legend of the Tarahumara Indians, a tribe of astonishingly fit runners concealed deep within the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Determined to learn their secrets, McDougall braved uncharted territory and encounters with lethal drug-smugglers in search of Caballo Blanco, one of the only outsiders to befriend the bashful natives. The colorful Caballo recounts an enthralling story involving the arduous Leadville ultra marathon and Rick Fisher, a greedy, hotheaded opportunist who bribed the Tarahumara out of hiding to compete. The exploited tribesmen participated in the grueling event three times before they disappeared back to their villages for good. An inspired Caballo followed the Tarahumara back to Mexico, where he ran the local trails and lived peacefully in isolation. His dream was to draw the top American contenders to this remote locale to lock horns with the clan in the ultimate endurance exhibition, and he wanted McDougall's help to make it happen. The author returned to the Copper Canyons with a handful of prominent distance champions, including Scott Jurek and Jenn Shelton, and the story culminates in a final 50-mile showdown. McDougall's background as a magazine writer is readily apparent-his prose is light and airy, informative without being pretentious. Most passages are short and engaging with extra doses of drama and exclamatory phrases thrown in to great effect.McDougall wisely grounds the narrative in his own struggle to engage in the concluding race-he was frustrated with his tendency to get injured-and he offers insightful sidebars on a variety of topics, from the development of the modern running shoe to an evolutionary argument that humans are literally "born to run."A terrific ride, recommended for any athlete. First printing of 75,000. Author tour to Boston, Boulder, Colo., Denver, New York, Portland, Ore., Salt Lake City, San Francisco."

,.,--.,-,--,,,-.,,.，，。非常好的一本书，京东配送也不错!读书是一种提升自我的艺术。玉不琢不成器，人不学不知道。读书是一种学习的过程。一本书有一个故事，一个故事叙述一段人生，一段人生折射一个世界。读万卷书，行万里路说的正是这个道理。读诗使人高雅，读史使人明智。读每一本书都会有不同的收获。悬梁刺股、萤窗映雪，自古以来，勤奋读书，提升自我是每一个人的毕生追求。读书是一种最优雅的素质，能塑造人的精神，升华人的思想。读书是一种充实人生的艺术。没有书的人生就像空心的竹子一样，空洞无物。书本是人生最大的财富。犹太人让孩子们亲吻涂有蜂蜜的书本，是为了让他们记住书本是甜的，要让甜蜜充满人生就要读书。读书是一本人生最难得的存折，一点一滴地积累，你会发现自己是世界上最富有的人。读书是一种感悟人生的艺术。读杜甫的诗使人感悟人生的辛酸，读李白的诗使人领悟官场的腐败，读鲁迅的文章使人认清社会的黑暗，读巴金的文章使人感到未来的希望。每一本书都是一个朋友，教会我们如何去看待人生。读书是人生的一门最不缺少的功课，阅读书籍，感悟人生，助我们走好人生的每一步。书是灯，读书照亮了前面的路书是桥，读书接通了彼此的岸书是帆，读书推动了人生的船。读书是一门人生的艺术，因为读书，人生才更精彩！读书，是好事读大量的书，更值得称赞。读书是一种享受生活的艺术。五柳先生好读书，不求甚解，每有会意，便欣然忘食。当你枯燥烦闷，读书能使你心情愉悦当你迷茫惆怅时，读书能平静你的心，让你看清前路当你心情愉快时，读书能让你发现身边更多美好的事物，让你更加享受生活。读书是一种最美丽的享受。书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。一位叫亚克敦的英国人，他的书斋里杂乱的堆满了各科各类的图书，而且每本书上都有着手迹。读到这里是不是有一种敬佩之意油然而升。因为有了书，就象鸟儿有了翅膀吗！然而，我们很容易忽略的是有好书并不一定能读好书。正如这位亚克敦，虽然他零零碎碎地记住了不少知识，可当人家问他时，他总是七拉八扯说不清楚。这里的原因只有一个，那就是他不善长于读书，而只会依葫芦画瓢。朱熹说过读书之法，在循序渐进，熟读而精思。所谓循序渐进，就是学习、工作等按照一定的步骤诼渐深入或提高。也就是说我们并不要求书有几千甚至几万，根本的目的在于对自己的书要层层深入，点点掌握，关键还在于把握自己的读书速度。至于熟读，顾名思义，就是要把自己看过的书在看，在看，看的滚瓜烂熟
